Guilty Pleasures

Around Christmas time, I heard someone talking about tithing and giving back. He said people don't give because it's a possession thing. They forget that everything we have is God's already, not our own. I spent some time thinking about this, and Marty and I decided to be more thoughtful about how we spend money. Before we buy something, we ask ourselves if it's a good use of what God has provided us with. We decided foremost to not waste money on "meaningless" stuff. Well, there went my subscription to US Weekly! And my daily trips to Target. I will admit it...I want to know what Brangelina will name their next child and I love to see fashion disasters. But I gave it up. I haven't thought much about it until last night. I was at the store, and I saw this:










I have boycotted the Bachelor for the last 10 seasons, but for some unknown reason, I am watching the current season. Do I think it's a waste of time? Yes. Am I still going to watch? Yes. I also watch 19 kids and counting. I think the Duggar's are a great family. They are living their life according to their convictions. 19 kids would be a bit much for me and Marty, but it works for them. Their kids are extremely well behaved, and they give back to their community.

Anyway, last night was the first time I really wanted to buy the magazines. Then I got a call from Marty and it was time for me to get home. So I walked away.

And as for Target, I honestly can't believe they haven't called to check on me. Is that any way to treat your best customer?

So now I want to know...what are your guilty pleasures?
